OFGB is a free Windows GUI tool written in C# with WPF that disables ads introduced across Windows 11 (Start Menu, File Explorer, etc.) by toggling Windows Registry keys. It is based on Shawn Brink's registry script and distributed under the Unlicense.
Use cases
- remove ads from windows 11 start menu
- disable suggested apps in file explorer
- turn off microsoft advertising in windows 11
- block windows 11 lock screen ads
- clean up windows 11 after april 2024 update
- privacy tool to disable windows promotions
When to choose
- you want a simple one-click GUI instead of editing registry keys manually
- you are on Windows 11 and annoyed by built-in ads and suggestions
- you prefer an open-source, unlicensed (public domain) utility
When to avoid
- you are not on Windows 11 or use an older Windows version
- you need scripted/automated deployment across many machines (a registry script may fit better)
- you want broader debloating or telemetry removal beyond ads
